Professional two guy team removed the corner sofa with ease which I’ve had sitting in the flat years (council removal you need to book months in advance and somehow get the sofa to the curb on the pickup date). None I could do myself as based in London and only spend a few days up in Manchester at a time! Submitted the online form with a picture, and they were able to collect two days after! It wasn’t cheap but definitely glad to have the old corner sofa finally gone!

Excellent customer service and professionalism from start to finish. Quoted same day on a house clearance, booked at time that was convenient to myself. Cleared house and swept up once finished. Would highly recommend using them.

Typical Jobs in Pontefract
Probate Clearance in Central Pontefract:
We cleared a full property of old furniture and carpets via a rapid wait and load service. This also avoided placing a skip on the narrow red-brick terraced street entirely.
End-of-Tenancy Clearance near Pontefract Town Centre:
We removed heavily soiled mattresses and general domestic waste. This therefore bypassed the need for the landlord to secure a complex tip permit from Wakefield Council.
Cellar Clearance in a former Colliery Row:
We carefully carried damp timber and household junk up tight cellar steps. Furthermore the area was swept completely clean, removing the hassle of narrow rear-alley access.
